Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Caribbean
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 1 cup cooked goat meat, shredded
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Drain the cooked black beans and place them in a food processor, ensuring they are at room temperature for optimal blending.
- Add the shredded goat meat to the food processor, which should be tender and warm from recent cooking.
- Incorporate tahini, olive oil, curry powder, and minced garlic into the food processor. The curry powder will provide a rich, aromatic Caribbean-style flavor profile.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice directly into the mixture to add brightness and help balance the rich, meaty flavors.
- Pulse the ingredients in the food processor, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula, until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved.
- Taste the hummus and gradually add salt, blending and tasting until the seasoning is perfectly balanced.
- If the mixture seems too thick, add a small amount of warm water or additional olive oil to reach desired creaminess.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, creating a slight swirl on top with the back of a spoon.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of additional curry powder, chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
- Serve immediately with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable crudités.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your black beans and goat meat are at room temperature for the smoothest possible blend.
- Curry Powder Freshness: Use freshly ground curry powder for the most intense and authentic Caribbean flavor.
- Blending Technique: Pulse the food processor gradually to control the consistency and prevent over-processing.
- Liquid Adjustment: Don't hesitate to add warm water or olive oil if the hummus is too thick - aim for a creamy, spreadable texture.
- Garnish Creatively: Experiment with toppings like chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of extra curry powder, or a drizzle of high-quality olive oil.
- Serving Suggestion: Warm your pita bread or crackers slightly to enhance the overall eating experience.
- Make Ahead: This hummus can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
